Remains of a century monastery, one of the oldest in Marseille, with a crypt containing precious archaeological evidence

One of the oldest remains in the city. It was in the5th century that the monastery was founded and a chapel was created on the very site of the tombs of several martyrs, including Saint-Victor, who gave his name to the religious building. During its history, the abbey spread throughout the south of France and one of its abbots was appointed pope in 1362. Today, a visit to the site allows you to take the measure of more than 1,500 years of history and to discover the crypt, a bewitching place containing precious archaeological evidence.

Un endroit plein de charme et de caractère qui vaut le détour. Les catacombes sont accessible à la visite. L'intérieur de l'abbaye est sublime. À deux rues du four des navettes, une visite incontournable !

Un endroit hors du temps en plein Marseille! Magnifique visite.
J'y ai appris la légende de la tradition des "navettes", produit incontournable.
A ne pas manquer même si souvent la vedette lui est volée par ND de la Garde!

L'abbaye Saint-Victor est un lieu à visiter à Marseille: surtout en ce qui concerne la crypte, remarquablement aménagée avec des panneaux explicatifs détaillés et sa magnifique collection de sarcophages antiques et médiévaux. Une page d'histoire incontournable, une promenade dans le passé, Un site propice à la méditation,

Magnificent abbey but I remember the exceptional crypt! Several times overlap and works are the most beautiful and interesting ones that the others. The explanatory panels are bright and spacious. To see at all costs!
The St Victor abbey with its crypt is part of the must-see sights of Marseille. The view from the abbey is interesting.
It is better to get there on foot from the port or by bus.
